Britain will be battered by 18 inches of snow as temperatures plummet to -16C before a fresh polar plunge threatens a white Easter.
After milder temperatures on Sunday follow Saturday's snow and ice warnings, a 1,500-mile wide blitz from Norway – like December’s Trondheim Troll – will see the North again pummeled by snow.
More snow and ice misery is on the way while stormy winds of up to 70mph threaten washouts in the worst affected areas.
